You may think you two are doing a good job hiding issues from your children but your children are noticing. Children notice these things it is just that they often won't say it. You are planting trauma and wounds in your children.
This is not the legacy you want to hand over to them. If your love your child/children, shield them from this.
Let your child/children grow in an environment that is full of love, joy, peace, safety, togetherness, teamwork, security, pleasant memories and hope. That is one of the best gifts you can ever give, after all, it was you two who started this family, your child/children are innocent and did not ask to be born in it.
